ND needs to see what it’s like to have your credibility questioned from the beginning of the season.
And this is the kind of shite that Kiffin needs to focus his Twitter troll game on…

It’s coming especially as their tv ratings continue to drop
They arent even a heavyweight program anymore for ratings. They averaged less than 4 million viewers a game this year, they are more in the top 15-20 range than ratings monster

You think ND will not get in with 2 losses? There is to much money if ND is in a playoff game. They will, 0 doubt.

And an alleged contract for basically a guaranteed playoff spot

The 10–2 Irish didn’t rank among the top 10 most-watched college football teams this year, according to Nielsen. In fact, their average viewing audience of 3,925,000 viewers ranked them No. 15, behind Florida, Ole Miss, South Carolina, and Florida State. And ahead of Vanderbilt, Missouri, Penn State, and Miami.
The most-watched team was Alabama, averaging more than double Notre Dame’s viewers at 8,493,000, followed by Texas, Georgia, Ohio State, and Oklahoma. Overall, SEC teams accounted for 4 of the 5 most-watched schools—and 8 of the top 10.
According to Nielsen, Notre Dame played in only one of the top 20 most-watched college football games this year. It drew a season-high 10.8 million viewers vs. Miami for its season opener on Aug. 31. Ironically, the committee pointed to that 27–24 road loss to the Hurricanes as the reason the Irish didn’t make the playoff cut. Even Notre Dame’s 34–23 victory over rival USC on Oct. 18 didn’t pop a big number. NBC’s broadcast averaged 2,998,000 viewers, trailing three SEC matchups on ABC: 6,046,000 for Mississippi-Georgia; 4,913,000 for Alabama-Tennessee; and 3,875,000 for LSU-Vanderbilt.
Last season, Notre Dame had a magical season, going 14–2 before falling to Ohio State in the national championship game. The telecast’s average viewership of 22.1 million viewers on ABC made it the CFP’s most-watched game of the season. But it was still down 12% from Michigan’s win over Washington in 2024. And the third-lowest audience among all 11 CFP title games.
But their fans seem to think they are the best

A LOT of SEC teams would be top 12 with that schedule.
Of course, if it's anyone other than Notre Dame, they'll rail on how weak the schedule is; with it being Notre Dame, they'll talk about how brave they are.

An MOU is not a binding document. And far less likely to become one now after having been leaked.

They arent even the most watched team in their state anymore, Indiana edged them out post CCG
Their Miami game was also a standalone game as a season opener, artificially inflated numbers even with 2 big name schools in it.
